Week 17
Week 17
I’m trying a new format for my blog this week J
Frustrations:
Saturday – If we go to a friend’s house, or have company over Isaac REFUSES to sleep, so he gets cranky and tired and cries a lot, so Saturday night we were over at our friend Jeff’s hanging out and playing video games and Isaac was pretty much pissed the whole time.
Sunday – He was so tired from the night before, but he refused to sleep again, so he was grouchy all day. It didn’t help that one of his poopy diapers that day was a little solid and he got a little bit of a diaper rash. Poor kid, talk about a bad day.
Monday – Grouchy again, I wonder why, LOL.
Tuesday – He finally took two nice naps and was doing better until I wanted to go to bed, then he didn’t want to sleep any more.
Wednesday – Nothing to report.
Thursday – Grouchy. Shots are evil I bet he is saying.
Friday – Didn’t sleep again, when is it going to end, I’m exhausted and so is he.
Accomplishments:
Saturday – He slept thru a huge storm of tons of rain, lightning, thunder, and wind. I was shocked, I was waiting for the Thunder to scare him pretty bad, but nope – he went to sleep when it was sunny and by the time he woke up it was sunny again.
Sunday – 3 poopy diapers… 3!!!! I think giving him some more solid foods is making his metabolism work a little faster, I know he doesn’t like the poopy diapers and I don’t like cleaning them up, but at least it’s getting a little closer to normal. Even though he was grouchy most of the day, right before dinner time I had him sitting on my lap laughing like there’s no tomorrow! He was laughing so hard it was cute.
Monday – A fun trip to Albertson’s proved someone can have fun grocery shopping, being strapped to daddy for an hour in his little backpack carrier thing and dangling in complete cuteness he had a blast, even though daddy’s back didn’t. Since it was a week ago that I started giving him rice cereal in a bowl, and now he’s got this cool new High Chair, I thought it was time to let him try something new, CARROTS! I mixed a little in his rice cereal [I’d say about half a teaspoon to 2 ounces of formula based rice cereal], he loved it. Felix wanted to join in the fun too and ended up making Isaac’s meal time so joyful that he started spitting food everywhere because he was trying to talk with his mouthful, what happened? He spit baby food all over of course, missing me [hurray] but hitting the cat dead on about 3 or 4 times. He thought it was absolutely hilarious, and all the cat could do is sit there and stare at him in amazement probably thinking why this tiny human is spitting this nasty shit at me. LOL. Do I dare mention that he had 2 more poopy diapers today? Yeah, I was surprised too.
Tuesday – Since he spent the last 3 days BARELY sleeping, his nap times have been long and so far no bad reactions to the carrots, no allergy so far, time to add more to the cereal!
Wednesday – I added more carrot baby food to his rice cereal and he seems to like and no allergic reactions. He slept good and got to spend some quality time with both Grandma’s and Daddy.
Thursday – Doctors appointment went good, he now weighs in at 15 pounds 13 ounces and is 23 inches long. I told the doctor the truth about how much formula Isaac is drinking and he didn’t say one thing to me. Said everything looks healthy. HURRAY!
Friday – Chris sat down and played with him for longer then five minutes [usually Isaac gets upset lol].
All about me:
If you’re interested in more than just my Mommy stuff I have a different blog dedicated to all my randomness. If you’re interested go check it out! www.myrandomnessblogzors.blogspot.com plus I have all my mommy blogs over there too www.themommyblogzors.blogspot.com . I’m a little behind on getting the Mommy blogs up – since they aren’t saved on my laptop and I’ve honestly been too lazy to turn my desktop on. But my randomness blog so far a posting every day, this weeks full of interesting stories of my life… Well in my opinion they are. Hehe. Seriously, go check them out, leave some comments!
So all in all its been a rollercoaster week, I can’t believe Isaac is now 17 weeks old. I have some cute pictures I am going to post this week of Isaacs adventures. But he’s getting so big so fast!
I came up with this.. Isaacs 10 rules to make parenting difficult [will apply to most babies J ]
1. If I am taking a nap, and you want to take a nap its not going to happen. Why? Because I will wake up right when you start to fall asleep.2. I'm allowed to eat when ever I want, I cry you feed me. You on the other hand, go ahead and try to enjoy that sandwich you just worked so hard to make, because half way through it I will wake up and you won't be allowed to finish it.3. Homework to do? Your funny! I don't feel like napping today.4. Cleaning to do? Again you are just too funny, I still don't feel like napping today.5. I will always scream and cry through your favorite T.V. show.6. You have a friend over! Awe I'm going to be so cute make you think I'm going to take a nap, everything's quiet, he/she is comfortable on the couch, then BAM I'm not tired any more. In fact, my tummy hurts so I'm going to spit up all over you and then cry until your friend isn't comfortable any more.7. You go to a friend's house and take me... I won't sleep.8. I like making urine art on the wall9. You and Daddy are absolutely forbidden to have dinner together.10. Look at me, I am finally down for a nap, I'm cute and I'm quiet... GO ahead sniff that air..You are not going to like what I just made for you in my diaper.

Week 16
Week 16
Frustrations: Like last week, Isaacs teething… My Dad said he felt a second tooth [I cannot find it, but it would not surprise me one bit]. This teething phase is hell! The orajel works, but not for long and I can’t give it to him any more then 2-3 times a day, but alas by the end of the week he has either gotten used to the pain or hes not in pain any more. Who knows.
Accomplishments: He’s back to liking his bath, after the baby oil accident last week lol and thanks to the baby oil his cradle cap is slowly disappearing, I just have to make sure to bathe the kid every day and put the oil on his head every day or the cradle cap starts to come back. Its so disgusting! Monday I started giving him spoonfuls of real rice cereal [instead of putting a tiny bit in his bottle], by Tuesday morning you can see that its starting to work, I just have to make sure to keep giving him water so that he doesn’t get constipated, he’s had enough potty problems as it is, and I really don’t want to make it worse. But yes, by Tuesday morning it was starting to work. Isaac wakes up at 8am, I automatically take him in to his walker [that’s where I have been feeding him since we never got a high chair >.< ] and gave him about 5 – 6 half spoons of the rice cereal, he didn’t want his bottle until an hour later, which Monday evening after I gave him the rice cereal he wanted his bottle right away. Another wonderful thing about giving him rice cereal is he seems to have stopped spitting up so much, maybe he just needed something more solid in his tummy? Who knows, the week went pretty well, didn’t start out good but it got better!
Related news: Isaac goes in for his 4 month check up on the 6th of September. More shots, ugh, but I need to talk to the doctor about the spitting up [if it comes back] and of course about giving Isaac more solid foods.
Me: I have decided that I can’t watch Celicity, shes just too much of a handful when Isaac has pretty much decided that he wants 100 percent of my attention. Kris seems a little bummed and I wish I could help him more, but I can’t have a screaming 3 yr old and a screaming 4 month old for 8 hours straight. It doesn’t help that I’m still going to school just online, which in the long run means more school work, just less money and less driving. I have projects that need to be done that I started before I was pregnant… Yeah that’s bad! Its been busy, so all of you who I have neglected to call or talk to, please bare along with me, my life is a little busy right now! Have a good one!

Week 15
Frustrations: Where do i start? Its been a long and hard week. Isaac has his first tooth actually popping out this week and the poor guys been sick on and off. Been really fussy. Plus I know he's growing like a weed but I still worry about how much he spits up. Not only can I not wear the same outfit for no longer then two or three hours, but it just seems like he spits up too much. Plus he gets hungry after an hour and a half, but he can't eat any more then three ounces at a time. It just worries me. One day this week I was super klutzy and ended up squirting a little bit of baby oil in his eye [I've been using it to treat his cradle cap - which is going away!!!] while bathing him and now hes iffy of bath time when just a few days before he couldnt wait to get into the water. So pretty much we have to start the process all over again about bath time and him having fun. Makes me feel so bad.
Accomplishments: Of course his first tooth is coming in! :) He's been practicing all those cute sounds he's making. This week has been hard for him so he really hasn't learned many new things. He's been trying so hard to walk and crawl.
Finals are here, and I'm stressed. LOL. I think not having to drive to school any more will help out a lot. I am for sure doing the online courses all the way. It will be a lot easier on everyone.

Week 14
WK 14
Frustrations: CRADLE CAP. All of a sudden Isaac got a nasty case of cradle cap. It’s so disgusting and nothing I seem to do is making it any better. I read some ways of possibly treating it online [like using special shampoos or baby oil] but oddly enough Wal Mart doesn’t even carry baby oil any more. How lame is that. So now I have to eventually scour every damn store out here to find either the shampoo or the baby oil. One site said I could use Olive Oil, but honestly now, I think baby oil is a lot cheaper to use. LOL.
Accomplishments: Real laughs. I heard a real laugh this week, its oh so cute. His ‘talking’ is getting better too, a lot more different sounds are coming out of his mouth now. He’s learning how to sit up this week, he things its so funny when he falls forward too. SO CUTE! He’s also learned to control his hands and arms better and has figured out how to reach out and grab things along with keeping things in his hands better
ME: J With me cleaning, and the promise to baby sit Celicity and my Mom hurting herself for the second time while watching Isaac I am going to be switching to the strictly online business course at ITT so that things are a little easier on everyone. Plus I borrowed some study books on real estate from Chris’s mom and if I think I am up to it by the end of the year or beginning of next, I might go in and test to be a real estate agent. Other then that, things are still super busy. If I don’t get these posted right away in the next few weeks, don’t fret, they will come. I’m just doing a lot of projects and studying.

Week 13
WK 13
Frustration: Oh man… Got Isaac circumcised this week, FINALLY… Stupid doctors, and let me tell you I’m glad its over. This week was like going back to week one again with a lot of crying and waking up every 2 hours. By the end of this week though, it started to go back to normal. The kid is a tough one, he did so well.
Accomplishments: Other then surviving his circumcision, nothing really new for this week. He’s just been practicing all the stuff he has learned how to do in the last few weeks. The doctor gave me the okay to bathe Isaac every day now and honestly it really helps him get to sleep at night.

Week 12
WK 12
Frustrations: NOTHING!
Accomplishments: Oh the joys of having a good week! Sleeping through the night [well mostly], giggling more every day… well just learning new things every day! My friend Katie and her Mom this week bought Isaac a cool new toy, called and ExcerSaucer. HE LOVES IT. I know you really aren’t supposed to be putting babies in there under the age of 4 months, but since he is so big I said hey why not. Good thing too, that kid will sit in there long enough for me to eat and get a FEW things done around that house!
Me on the other hand, its getting close to the end of the school quarter which makes things really busy for me, plus with me cleaning Katie’s Mom’s house 3 days a week.
